Letter to the editor: Not beaten

President Barack Obama waves after finishing his inauguration speech Monday.

Not beaten

It was said by conservatives that if Barack Obama were re-elected the nation would pass the point of no return as it plunges into total decadence and complete demise.

Well, Obama won re-election and new signs of societal decay and disunity are frequently emerging.

Conservatives are now saying that there might still be time to save the nation and that there are things that can still be done to prevent a Rome-like ending for society. Nowhere are these ideas more powerful than in the local and national Tea Party movement.

As much as the president and the political left would like to see conservatives give up and go quietly into the night I don't see that happening any time soon. Conservatives might be discouraged but not disenfranchised, down but not out, defeated but not beaten.

Obama's re-election has put conservatives under intense pressure. But diamonds are produced under intense pressure, diamonds of ideas, strategies, actions, and determination with gems of pure inspiration and strength.

To continue to fight when the chips are down and the odds are against you takes courage and dedication. And conservatives, like the Royal Air Force in the Battle of Britain, have loads of both.
